There is a Joey 4 on the way. Does 4K, HDR and supports Android Apps from the Google Play Store. Look for it in late July. 
Thanks you Scott, I hope its reasonably pricedThere is a Joey 4 on the way. Does 4K, HDR and supports Android Apps from the Google Play Store. Look for it in late July.
I hope it doesn't require the H+!
I think it has been discussed before and it would require a Hopper+...
However, a 4K Wally (which was the original question) definitely would not require a Hopper+.
That would be huge! Did I miss an announcement that said that a 4K Wally is actually coming soon? I have been asking for that for years. The only way I could see a new Wally requiring a Hopper+ would be if it is also capable of integrating with a Hopper, which would also be a very huge deal!
But there is no 4K Wally in the pipeline while there is a Joey 4 coming and it does 4K, HDR, and does Android apps. The Hopper+ and Joey 4 are both tied to the Android apps and that is their selling point.
Too bad. I like the flexibility of being able to use the Wally independently without needing a Hopper, unlike any model of Joey. For the same monthly equipment fee (Wally vs. Joey) I always thought the Wally is a better value.
I didn't understand that to be the final word.
Yeah, the 1st two. I'd be happy to have a J4 with the 1st two and lacking the 3rd.
Does it cost anything. I paid a one time fee for a 4K Joey that has no 4K programming or anythingThere is a Joey 4 on the way. Does 4K, HDR and supports Android Apps from the Google Play Store. Look for it in late July.
That was not determined when I met with DISH last month. If they charge something I wouldn't expect it to be expensive.
The problem is that most (or all) of the 4K HDR content available on Joeys is delivered through those Android apps. So, you need all three, or you end up with none.I didn't understand that to be the final word.

I doubt we'll ever see significant 4K programming delivered via satellite, they might find a way to incorporate 4K streaming in for some channels through the STBs, but by that point the entire pay TV model might be dead.
sorry about that, I meant 4k Joey in my original question, don't know why I said Wally. Gotta get more sleep apparently.
That's okay, it gave us something to talk about. Nobody else was taking the bait about the 4K Wally, so I thought I'd chime in, since that is something I actually have been wanting for a long time. If enough people agree, and keep this discussion going, then maybe Dish will see it and realize that there actually is demand for such a receiver.

will the people who bought the 4k Joey and were promised PIP and 4K get it free. We did not even get YouTube on it!
I wish I could Love this post twice! I would like to see all of the above on a Wally also, not just on the 4K Joey.
Don't waste your money on a 4K Joey. You cannot get any 4K channels (540 channels) on it, no matter what Dish says. It seems that all 4K channels are 4K HDR these days and the 4K Joey simply does not work with 4K HDR even if your tv is 4K HD. I've jumped through all of those hoops already.
Is there still a promise for PIP? That was promised for 4K Joey and NEVER delivered!There is a Joey 4 on the way. Does 4K, HDR and supports Android Apps from the Google Play Store. Look for it in late July.
